Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
Congrats! I love it when a slow class car wins, I really love it when a FWD class car wins. I enjoy odd ball combinations, station wagons, FWD's, and inline 4 and 6 bangers. I miss all these cars that used to be in the staging lanes. Don Jackson.

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
Gary and I pitted next to each other for years. Kept getting us confused....both with Red race cars. We are about the same height so I would say that I am the "fat" Gary (Hansen)...I learned some valuable life lessons from Gary. Congrats my friend.

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
Awesome job Gary! You can cut the bait part now that everybody knows you the shark! Man, talk about some close races, .005 MOV 2nd round, double BO decided on RT in the 3rd and a dead heat in the semis! You proved FWD racers matter. Very happy for you and proud to call you a friend. Enjoy crossing this off your bucket list. Hope you don't need a bigger hat, I'm sure this will help bring you out of your shell, LOL!

Re: Shark bait aka Gary Hampton
Thanks to all of you for your posts. That's now my best moment in racing, since I won the D5 Street Eliminator Championship Waaay back in 1981, with a '73 Pontiac Ventura (350 V8 2bbl), that was 3sec's slower in the 1/4 mile, than Shark Bait is, and that was at Thunder Valley Dragway, in Marion, SD!
